The <a href="IndexFungorumPartnership.htm" target="_self">Index Fungorum partnership</a> 
    is pleased to announce that as from 1st May 2005 persistent identifiers have 
    been implemented for the records in the Index Fungorum database. Each record 
    is assigned an <a href="http://lsid.sourceforge.net/" target="_blank">LSID</a> 
    with the following structure:<br>
    <br>
    urn:lsid:indexfungorum.org:names:nnnnnn<br>
    <br>
    A resolver will be set up as soon as resources are available. One is available 
    at http://lsid.tdwg.org/ and can be used to resolve, for example, the LSID 
    for <a href="http://www.indexfungorum.org/Names/NamesRecord.asp?RecordID=113721">Utharomyces 
    epallocaulus</a> - http://lsid.tdwg.org/urn:lsid:indexfungorum.org:names:113721<br>
    <br>
    Deprecated records, which are not displayed in search results, can be resolved 
    to the correct record only through the <a href="http://www.indexfungorum.org/IXFWebService/Fungus.asmx">Web 
    Services</a>. A human query interface will be provided as soon as possible.<br>
    <br>
    The current database structure currently does not support the assignment of 
    LSIDs to the taxonomic opinions expressed in the &#8216;Species Fungorum&#8217; 
    component; only the names in a nomenclatural sense are assigned LSIDs.<br>
